Are you ready to be entertained?

If you're having a bored weekend or a bad day please do yourself a favor and watch this very entertaining movie.
The concept of the movie is simple. It's Jaeger(s) vs Kaiju(s) which means Hunter(s) vs Monster(s). The story is straightforward with some minor plot holes which aren't important in the end. This movie is all about entertainment. The pacing is great. There are rarely dull moments in the movie. The visuals are breathtaking! Keep in mind that I watched it only in 2D. Kudos to the crew who made that possible. The action scenes are amazing. I had to re-watch plenty of scenes just because I didn't see everything the first time. There is also some humor in it which is a nice break from the constant action.
Is there something I didn't like? I felt there was a lack of imagination considering the fact that the action happened most of the time in the Ocean. More battle locations would have been great. I also didn't like the love story. It felt awkward and wasn't necessary.
To conclude this review, Pacific Rim should not be taken too seriously. It succeeds for what it is; a visually gem and fails at delivering a rock-solid story.
